About the Daily Bruin

Since 1919, The Daily Bruin has served as UCLA’s premier source of campus news for students and members of the university. The paper has published each school day of the year since the mid-1920s. The Bruin is now the only five-day paper serving a University of California campus.

Countless alumni from The Bruin have gone on to work for top daily newspapers and news organizations around the world. Bruin alumni have gone on to receive four Pulitzer Prizes and a Nobel Peace Prize.

In Kerckhoff 118, the Daily Bruin’s central-campus office, about 500 students work in 14 editorial sections to produce the paper each day. Students serve as the paper’s editors, reporters, photographers, videojournalists, designers and programmers. An editorial board composed of UCLA students serves as the newspaper’s official voice on matters concerning students.

The Bruin also regularly performs strongly in national and local college media competitions. In 2016, the paper won the ACP Newspaper Pacemaker Award, widely recognized as the most prestigious honor in college journalism, for the nation’s best college newspaper. The Bruin also won the 2016 Online Pacemaker Award for the best college media website in the nation. In the past year, The Bruin has also taken home top honors from the Society of Professional Journalists, the College Media Association, the California Newspaper Publishers Association and the California College Media Association.

Students on the paper have a unique opportunity to report abroad for free each year. The Bridget O’Brien Foundation, an organization dedicated to a former Bruin staffer, awards a scholarship to a team of Bruin reporters each summer, which allows the students to travel for free anywhere in the world and report on issues relevant to UCLA.

The Bruin is one of the most applied-to organizations on campus, with about 560 students submitting applications each year. About 9,000 copies of the paper are distributed each day at dozens of locations across UCLA. The paper is also read each day by thousands of students using phones, laptops and tablets to browse the Daily Bruin’s online content.

Because UCLA does not have a journalism major or school, the Daily Bruin serves as the university’s primary training ground for young journalists. Daily Bruin alumni have worked at many top news organizations, including National Public Radio, BBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post.

The Daily Bruin is a resource to the students, faculty, staff and community members of UCLA and Westwood. The paper offers local insight and coverage of events, trends and important topics on campus every day it prints.

Poll

The Undergraduate Students Association Council urged a Student Media newsmagazine member earlier this month to turn off its livestream during part of the the public comment period of its meeting. USAC's livestream policies do not allow for audio or video for a segment of its public comment periods, so as to protect the identity of students, but there are currently no regulations in place for Student Media livestreaming of council meetings. What do you think about this?
The student government should be able to restrict the public from recording its meetings, as it has the right to protect the identities of students who may face safety issues for what they say.
USAC meetings are a public forum and student journalists should be able to livestream to make this information accessible to the public.
The debate over livestreaming in USAC meetings is irrelevant, as few students watch livestreams of undergraduate student government meetings.
I have feelings about this issue that are not expressed in the options above.
